I don't have a student enrolled in this school... I just wanted to point out a couple of things I noticed regarding some of the tips posted about IDS. First - it seems like a strange coincidence that the most recent negative review for the school was posted by someone with the exact same name as the person who posted a glowing review for another school...that is being run by three former IDS employees. (I might mention that one of those former employees also was immature enough to create a fraudulent website that is designed to make people think it belongs to IDS. One or more of those former employees has also reportedly been telling parents calling around for program information, that IDS is going out of business - so they shouldn't bother calling them. Several of the points mentioned in this specific negative review are so completely ridiculous, that anyone who knows anything about IDS should be able to tell immediately that there is something suspicious going on. I don't intend to get into a mud-slinging contest - because I feel that is beneath me - but just want to tell anyone researching schools, and reading negative ""tips""...to keep in mind that anyone can post anything at anytime. It doesn't mean it's true. By the way, I'm not the owner of IDS (or a member of their family), and I don't have any reason to write things that aren't true. I simply have a real problem with dishonesty of any kind and am hoping this will give parents something to think about.
